Du=
e to a critical security vulnerability in JIRA's Atlassian HipChat add-on (=
which we don't use & can't disable) we will have to upgrade JIRA in the=
next few weeks.

Ph=
ase-out of Atlassian Crowd:

We=
are creating a private IP network for our LDAP directory services to conne=
ct software like Confluence, JIRA, & Bamboo directly to our OpenMRS ID =
directory. This will allow us to sunset Crowd which should greatly improve =
performance on all Atlassian products.

Op=
enMRS ID upgrades:

Ou=
r summer GSoC project has introduced several performance & workflow imp=
rovements in the OpenMRS ID Dashboard. These changes will be deployed in pr=
oduction in the coming weeks.

Fa=
stly global CDN:

Fastly=
.com has donated its services to OpenMRS which will allow us use of its=
worldwide content delivery network (CDN). This will allow us to cache cert=
ain content at locations around the world closer to our customers & con=
tributors. The effect for developers will be faster page loads in our OpenMRS.=
org webapps and faster dependency downloads via Nexus. See <=
a class=3D"external-link" href=3D"https://www.fastly.com/network" rel=3D"no=
follow">https://www.fastly.com/network for a list of current and upcom=
ing locations from where we'll be able to serve content.

Ad=
ditional people on the team:

We=
announced this week that Mayank Sharma has stepped up for the developer to=
ols manager. He will be responsible for JIRA, Nexus, Modulus, as well as as=
sisting with Bamboo. Please continue to report concerns with and ideas for =
these tools through Helpdesk. We'll be announcing some other new leadership=
soon over the next few weeks, and those leaders will be kicking off variou=
s projects to improve the various components of our infrastructure. &n=
